Overview
- Ashley Tisdale’s Jan. 1 essay in The Cut describes feeling excluded from a mom group, likening the dynamic to high school and announcing she texted the group that she was done.
- Online sleuths have linked the unnamed group to Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor based on past photos and follows, though those identifications remain unconfirmed.
- Public signals fueling the speculation include Tisdale no longer following Duff and Moore on Instagram while still following Trainor, as reported by multiple outlets.
- Tisdale’s representative told TMZ there is “zero truth” to the internet’s guesses and said the piece was not about Duff, Moore or Trainor.
- Hilary Duff’s husband Matthew Koma posted a mocking Instagram Story referencing Tisdale’s essay, and designer Samii Ryan shared an indirect “2026 mood” repost, while the celebrities linked by fans have not issued on-the-record rebuttals.
